Senate Approves Ban on Insider Trading by Congress; New York Times, 2/2/12

Robert Pear, New York Times; Senate Approves Ban on Insider Trading by Congress:

"The Senate passed a sweeping new ethics bill on Thursday that would ban insider trading by members of Congress and require prompt disclosure of stock transactions by lawmakers and by thousands of officials in the executive branch of government.

The 96-to-3 vote followed three days of impassioned debate in which senators tried to outdo one another in proclaiming their support for ethics in government."
